ginia have rendered their services to aid in
the labor of preparing the claims for adjust
ment But even if untaught clerks could be
of service in this way-whiCh is very doubt
full, for it requires no little time to train a
pension clerk, and for awhile after his entry
into the Office he is of more bother than use
the law would prevent the acceptance of
their services. The law prescribes whom the
Commissioner shall employ and leaves him
no discretion. Then the acts of these volun-
teers would not stand, rs they would not be
properly officials of the Government.
Gen. Black has called for volunteers in the
Office, and more than 100 trained clerks
have offered to work over hours TO help out.
This is very praiseworthy of them, but it is
shameful that Congress should make this
course necessary. The Government has no
right to ask these men and women to do
this, and take from them more than it pays

MEXICAN PENSIONS.

The failure of Congress TO make any ap-
preparation for an additional clerical force
10 carry out the provisions Of the Mexican
Pension Bin has produced great embarrass-
ment all around.
The present force in the Pension Bureau
is doing all that is possible for it TO do TO
take care Of the present business. Gen.
Black has accomplished much more with
the force at his command than any of his
predecessors were able 10 do, but there is a
limit TO human powers. lie should have
many more clerks TO bring the usual work
up faster. lie has repeatedly asked for adj
ditional clerks, but these have been denied
him. III lie could have had the force that
he desired all the pension work would have
been in a much more advanced state than il
is at present Ii is easy TO understand the
predicament that he is placed in now, with
every clerk in his Office worked TO the ut
most, an immense amount of additional
work thrust upon him, and not an addi-
tional clerk given him.
IL has been proposed 10 relieve him in a
measure by the services Of volunteers, and

a firm foundation for the unexampled pros
perity that now blesses us and our children,
and will continue to bless the generations
that come after us.
There are about $4,000 comrades now in
the Order. These, with their noble allies of
the Woman's Relief Corps and the Sons of
Veterans, should, with but little effort from
each, raise n fund Of 100000, which will be
sufficient TO erect memorial of which we
may be all justly proud. If even so small
sum rs 30 cents be raised for every COM
rade in the Order this would make total
Of $4,000, and with this n splendid testi-
monial could be put up. Certainly among
the hundreds of thousands yet surviving Of
those whom Grant led to victory, among
the millions of their sons and daughters,
wives and widows, and those who honor his
patriotism and his illustrious services, there
can be collected so moderate contribution
as so cents head for each member of the
GAR.
The Commander-in-C Chief suggests the
most practical way TO go about this: TO have
a meeting in every Post-room on the forth
coming anniversary of Gen. Grants birth
April 27-which Will be devoted 10 this
object Let US all 20 about this as we used

lie had 104 guns with him, so that during
the afternoon Napoleon had arraycd against
him $4,000 men and 260 guns. Ii must be
remembered that all these were electives"
as the sick, wounded and otherwise ineffective
men were not counted This would really
make NapoleOn's army equal TO an ordinary
force of 100000 men, and the Allied Army
equal TO about 10000 men.
ii has not yet been definitely settled how
many men were in the Union and rebel
armies at Gettysburg. il is stated in gen.
eral way that Meade had about 100000 men
under his command, but this included COM
mands stationed all over the country from
the Potomac TO the Pennsylvania line
There was never much reliability in the
rebel reports of the strength of their armies.
1t was always their policy to underestimate
their numbers in order TO bolster up the old
boast that one Southerner was equal to five
Yankees.
The Comte de Paris is satisfied that Meade
had under him $1,000 men and 600 guns.
He places Lees force at 1850 men, with
100 guns The latter, it will be seen, had
an army very near in size TO that of the First
Napoleon. Everything goes to prove that
Meade brought fewer men into action al
Gettysburg than Lee did.
The Duke of Wellington's army lost al
Waterloo liz officers and 2,3il men killed,
500 officers and 1891 men wounded, and II
officers and ,056 men missing. There were
1000 Dutch-Belgians missing" most OF
whom ran away and deserted. This made
the total loss 14,72s. Blucher's loss was
CTS killed, wounded and missing, so that
the grand total for the allies was 81, SOB.
The French loss has never been carefully
ascertained. The generally received esti-
mates places it at 10000 killed, wounded
and prisoners.
Meade's army lost at Gettysburg 1854
killed, 1873 wounded, and 6,Gi3 missing
a total Of 1880
The losses Of Lees army were never
| known, but the best estimates put the mum.
Der Of killed and wounded at $1,000, and
1900 were taken prisoners, making total
of 10000. The Confederate army must have
lost much more than the Union army, fol
it was the assailant through the entir,
battle.
IL is thus manifest that the Fighting al
Gettysburg was much more desperate and
bloody than at Waterloo.

if man ate hogshead Of sugar year he
could not get enough into his system to be
detected by chemical analysis, and if he did
it would not hurt him. Again, when glu-
cose came into the market sugar-makers be-
came vociferOus about glucose producing
Bright's disease This was the worst kind of
rubbish, for the reason that no one knows or
has any idea as to what induces that dreadful
affection of the kidneys. 1t is conclusive,
however, that while the consumption of
glucose has become very general, there has
been no perceptible increase of Bright's dis
ease in the country.
